Thank you @StopherSharks PTA, families, and community for your contributions to Shark-a-Thon 2024. We celebrated with a school-wide dance party on the lawn. Top fundraisers helped us hit the target and earned a chance to dump water on @MelissaLShearon and staff. #StopherShines
Thank you to the @StopherSharks community for contributing to the success of this project. Looking forward to seeing our Sharks smile, laugh, and play together very soon! #StopherShines
Accessible play - @StopherSharks cut the ribbon on Phase 1 of their playground accessibility project, making it available for all students including those with disabilities. “It’s part of our mission at Stopher to enable ALL kids to learn and play”.
As a dad, I am so thankful for our principals, assistant principals, teachers, bus drivers and school staff for all they do to help our children succeed. It was great to visit with @JCPSKy today to thank some of these leaders and wish them luck ahead of the new school year!
I’m so excited for you, @rachelledougl15! The Johnson TMS community is lucky to have an equity- and community-minded leader joining the team. Your @StopherSharks are cheering you on!
Congratulations to Rachelle Douglas (AL ‘24) who has been named Assistant Principal at Johnson Traditional Middle School @JCPSLeads@SpaldingU#spaldingleads
Sharks like to work hard and have fun! We got read for a week of testing with a KSA Pep Rally! Our students beat our staff in Quick Recall, while the staff took the win in basketball. #StopherThrives
Last night, our very own Mrs. Delaney was recognized at the @JCPSKY Educators of Color Celebration. We are thankful for her daily dedication to her students! #StopherThrives
Ms. George’s class took their learning celebration to the hallway. @StopherSharks wrote riddles using facts from research about birds. Today they tried to solve them. I was amazed by the rich vocabulary and specific details in their writing and drawings. #StopherThrives
Student discourse was abundant in 5th grade today. Ss determined intervals on a number line using place value patterns in math. In science class, Ss were in deep discussion of evidence to support or dispute a claim about a mystery pollutant in a sample of water. #StopherThrives
I LOVE @StopherSharks Fun Fridays! This one brought lots of smiles, laughter, and good ole friendly competition amongst our staff. We are ☘️LUCKY☘️ to have a staff that ☘️ROCKS☘️! #StopherThrives#FunFriday
Ms. Hiland’s kinder @StopherSharks are developing as researchers and writers this year! I love seeing the showcase of learning on display. I can’t wait to go back and listen when they share their finished narratives describing how animals depend on trees. #StopherThrives@JCPSELA
Engaging as a learner through the same practices we are learning about helps to imagine taking these practices back into our classrooms. Ts deconstructed each #equitablepedagody component of the JCPS ARE tool and evaluated a video of a lesson using the descriptors. @JCPSDEP1
Staff dove deeper into the indicators of Equitable Pedagogy today by doing. @MrsJacksonAP modeled varied strategies, cooperative learning opportunities, and learner choice.
You ARE are math person! We’ve been using a human-centered approach to ensure effective implementation of @IllustrateMath next year. The whole staff engaged in math exploration today - facilitated by peers. #StopherThrives
I will never tire of watching children’s reactions to a good ole fashion read aloud. Thankful for our amazing librarian at @StopherSharks and excited for Literacy Week! #StopherThrives
